Kenya are unbeaten in their last five games, which adds an interesting angle to the betting tips.

Head-to-Head Record

The head-to-head record heavily favors Kenya. The teams have met twice before, both times in Friendly International matches on May 28, 2018. Kenya won both encounters 1-0. Guinea have zero wins and zero draws against Kenya, while Kenya have two wins. This historical edge for Kenya is a key stat when analyzing the Guinea vs Kenya odds.

Win Probability: Guinea or Kenya?

Who will win this match? We calculate the win probability based on the odds, recent form, and head-to-head record. The bookmakers' average odds imply a strong home advantage for Guinea. After removing the bookmaker margin and normalizing the inverse odds, Guinea's win probability stands at 55%. The draw has a 25% chance, and a Kenya win sits at 20%. Guinea's poor recent form is offset by the odds and the fact they are the designated home side. Kenya's unbeaten run and perfect H2H record keep their chances alive, but the odds suggest Guinea are more likely to win.
